Just random …

First, Game Hacks is MOVING! Yes, folks, Game Hacks has enjoyed a nice career bringing you gaming goodness, reviews and the like for a few years now.

However, it’s time to take our game to the next level – literally.

On Nov. 1st, Game Hacks will make the transition into 29-95.com. The blog will get much more exposure and we definitely want to see our regulars – NoWhining, Matt, Chunkmaster Flash and even JoeDowtown and SLHunter in our new spot. I’ll be doing a lot more local gaming coverage, and making sure H-Town KNOWS that the Chron covers video games.

29-95.com is an award-winning site with a lot going on for it. It’s an excellent opportunity to get a much better place online – and even get a wii bit edgier with our gaming coverage. Still, I vow to not get too far off the tenets that made Game Hacks what it is – Houston gaming, with a Houston viewpoint.

1. Did the members of the audience sign an agreement to not sell the bundles until the day of release?

2. Will they be able to play on LIVE without worry of being BANNED?

and 3. Where can Brother M4dski11z get one of those bundles? LOL.

NOW … Yahoo has an interesting story about the Netflix updates on the PS3 and Wii. While it is free vs. the LIVE version, the writer/reporter/blogger/PS3 fanboy made it known how he felt about the $50 a year cost to play on LIVE. After downloading both interfaces on the Wii and the PS3, I was expecting something as slick or as smooth as the regular Windows-based interface or the Xbox LIVE version.

Have you seen the new PS3/Wii Netflix interface? What are your thoughts?

The customer REALLY LOVES HALO: So this person on eBay with more than enough money to spend plopped down $350 U.S. – plus $4 shipping – to a seller for a … wait for it … Halo: REACH press kit briefcase and the contents. Granted, it comes with the game and the controller – and obviously bragging rights.

I have this case – it’s great for keeping all my gaming related items, press releases and the like in it. But as much as I enjoy this case and it’s slick finish, I wouldn’t pay $350 to buy another one for my friend.

The other question I’m wondering is – was this a giveaway and how many of these cases are out there?

Still, if you are really into Halo and don’t mind coughing up three Benjamins and a half, it would be nice to show it off to your peeps.
